Oh, Luna

Hermione's POV

It had been three days since we'd gotten back to Hogwarts and Ron still hadn't left the infirmary. I managed to catch up on my classes on Thursday and Friday but now it was Saturday and I had nothing to distract myself with. I felt terrible. After the situation with the griffin, I couldn't bear to look at Ron in the eyes. I hadn't been able to help him when he needed me most. I only went to visit him when he was asleep and alone. It was now Saturday the 6th of September. Somehow it felt like we had been stranded for such a long time that it felt surreal.

Everyone kept asking about what had happened and I just said that we tried to make it to Hogwarts on our own and got attacked. Of course, people wanted details, but I couldn't make myself relive the whole situation. Naturally, rumors started flying around about how we got ambushed by remaining Death Eaters and we fought our way through dozens of wizards, or how we had to take down 3 western hills giants and Ron had been stomped on, and many more ridiculous versions of the story. Of course, only some people in the Gryffindor house knew the truth but they were nice enough to try and make the subject quiet down.

I was making my way to the great hall for dinner after a long day when I finally decided to take a detour to the hospital wing and check if Ron was asleep. My footsteps echoed through the corridors and I prayed filch was already at dinner. I entered the infirmary quietly and peeked over to Ron's bed and saw him laying still. His chest rising and falling slowly. I exhaled and walked over to him. I sat on the chair next to his bed and sighed softly. He was on his side, his face looked slightly less pale than the night before and Madam Pomphrey said that his ribs were almost fully regrown, and he would only have a limp for a few days. The blanket went up to his neck and his arms lay over the covers. His lips were slightly parted and there was a little drool dripping down his chin. I smiled, and before I could stop myself, I leaned forward and wiped the drool with my thumb. His eyes fluttered open and slowly focused on me.

"' Mione..." he tried to sit up, but he groaned and lay back down. I stood up and sat on the edge of his bed and helped him lay on his back.

"Hey, you shouldn't be moving too much. Your ribs aren't fully healed yet" I whispered as soft as I possibly could. He looked at me in the eyes and I see something behind his. Maybe hurt?

"I haven't seen you in a while. I was hoping to see you here a couple of days ago, but I guess you didn't come" My eyes widened slightly. Had he thought I was mad at him?

"Oh no Ron, I did come, you were just asleep" He looked up at me uncertainly. I swallowed and sighed "I was actually trying to avoid you while you were awake" His eyes turned sad again "But not because I'm mad! Or anything like that...I just thought you would be" I looked away and stared at my lap.

"Wait...you thought...I'd be mad at you? Hermione, why would I be mad at you?" I looked up at him and his eyes were now filled with worry. Mine were starting to fill with tears.

"I failed you when you needed me the most. My mind went blank and I couldn't heal you and you were in all that pain and I-"

"Hermione I'm going to stop you right there" He took my hand and I looked down at them. They were getting blurry. "I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you. And I'm not just talking about the griffin. I wouldn't have survived any of our times fighting Voldemort if it hadn't been for you. Harry and I would've died long ago if it weren't for you. You didn't fail me with the griffin. You've never failed me, Hermione. I need you to know that. Everything you do just makes me like you even more." I looked up at him and willed the tears away. I saw his eyes widen in shock and then settle with confidence. "I...yeah, I like you, Hermione"

I felt my insides melt. I was going to say something when Harry and Ginny burst into the infirmary carrying a fainted Neville, Luna skipping from behind with a wild grin on her face. I walked over, worried that Neville might be injured, and Ron sat up, regardless of his pain.

"What happened? Is he okay" I looked over more carefully and what I thought was Harry and Ginny crying was that they were... laughing?

"He's alright, don't worry," Ginny said in between laughs.

"Yeah, he's just a bit shocked," Harry said, and they burst out laughing and Luna blushed.

Ron looked at me confused "What do you mean shocked?" I nodded also wanting to know.

"Oh, don't worry," said Luna in her dreamy voice "I just kissed him" My eyes widened, and a smile crept on my face.

"You kissed him, and he fainted?" Ron stifled a laugh and Luna turned scarlet.

"Well, he fainted because he was afraid I'd say no to being his girlfriend, but it happened right after the kiss yes," she said in that matter-of-fact tone of hers. I couldn't help it, but I started laughing along with Harry and Ginny. Soon we were all laughing until Neville started stirring. Luna skipped over and sat gently next to him. Madam Pomphrey had just come out to give him a couple of pills I didn't recognize.

Harry looked over at me and took Ginny's hand "Well, we're gonna get going. We have somewhere to be" They turned around just after Ginny winked at me subtly. I smiled. I looked over at Luna stroking Neville's hair and thought I really wanted to do that to Ron.

That jogged my memory and remembered what he'd just told me. I looked over at Ron and I met his gaze. We both blushed immediately remembering what we were talking about before they came in. His eyes flickered from me to Luna. We wouldn't be able to talk with them here. I walked over and sat on the bed again. This time more hesitant and on the edge.

"Maybe you should rest. We can talk some other time." He nodded, reached out, and held my hand hesitantly. My cheeks fired up again.

"Yeah. I leave the infirmary tomorrow night and I'll be going back to class on Monday" He sighed and squeezed my hand slightly for me to look at him. And I did. "But about what I said... I meant it. And I want to talk about it" I smiled shyly and squeezed his hand back.

"Okay. See you tomorrow?" Madam Pomphrey walks over

"No dear. No visitors on Sundays. He'll be back on Monday, so you'll have to see him then" Quickly she rushed me out because it was late.

I went to the great hall and sat at the Gryffindor table across from Ginny and Harry that were bantering cutely. They looked up at me and Ginny smiled.

"Hey, I saw you actually talked to him today" I rolled my eyes and she chuckled.

"Yeah, we're good now. No one's mad... apparently" Harry smiled

"I told you that you were making a big deal out of it" I kicked him in the shin, and he doubled over in pain. I high fived Ginny and immediately was in a better mood.
